o With introduction of kexec as boot-loader, the assumption that parameter
segment will always be loaded at lower address than kernel and will be
addressable by early bootup page tables is no longer valid. In kexec on
panic case parameter segment might well be loaded beyond kernel image and
might not be addressable by early boot page tables.
o This case might hit in the scenario where user has reserved a chunk of
memory for second kernel, for example 16MB to 64MB, and has also built
second kernel for physical memory location 16MB. In this case kexec has no
choice but to load the parameter segment at a higher address than new kernel
image at safe location where new kernel does not stomp it.
o Though problem should automatically go away once relocatable kernel for i386
is in place and kexec can determine the location of new kernel at run time
and load parameter segment at lower address than kernel image. But till then
this patch can go in (assuming it does not break something else).
o This patch moves up the boot parameter saving code. Now boot parameters
are copied out in protected mode before page tables are initialized. This
will ensure that parameter segment is always addressable irrespective of
its physical location.

If the virtual 86 machine reaches an instruction which raises a General
Protection Fault (such as CLI or STI), the instruction is emulated (in
handle_vm86_fault). However, the emulation ignored the TF bit, so the
hardware debug interrupt was not invoked after such an emulated instruction
(and the DOS debugger missed it).
This patch fixes the problem by emulating the hardware debug interrupt as
the last action before control is returned to the VM86 program.

The memory descriptors that comprise the EFI memory map are not fixed in
stone such that the size could change in the future. This uses the memory
descriptor size obtained from EFI to iterate over the memory map entries
during boot. This enables the removal of an x86 specific pad (and ifdef)
in the EFI header. I also couldn't stomach the broken up nature of the
function to put EFI runtime calls into virtual mode any longer so I fixed
that up a bit as well.

This patch pushes the creation of a rare signal frame (SIGBUS or SIGSEGV)
into a separate function, thus saving stackspace in the main
do_page_fault() stackframe. The effect is 132 bytes less of stack used by
the typical do_page_fault() invocation - resulting in a denser
cache-layout.
(Another minor effect is that in case of kernel crashes that come from a
pagefault, we add less space to the already existing frame, giving the
crash functions a slightly higher chance to do their stuff without
overflowing the stack.)
(The changes also result in slightly cleaner code.)

I don't think we need to call hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() anymore
in 2.6.13 because of the rework with free_pgtables(). It now collect
all the pte page at the time of munmap. It used to only collect page
table pages when entire one pgd can be freed and left with staled pte
pages. Not anymore with 2.6.13. This function will never be called
and We should turn it into a BUG_ON.
I also spotted two problems here, not Adam's fault :-)
(1) in huge_pte_alloc(), it looks like a bug to me that pud is not
checked before calling pmd_alloc()
(2) in hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable(), it also missed a call to
pmd_free_tlb. I think a tlb flush is required to flush the mapping
for the page table itself when we clear out the pmd pointing to a
pte page. However, since hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() is never
called, so it won't trigger the bug.

This patch moves the

hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable(pte);
logic into huge_pte_alloc() so all of its callers can be immune to the bug
described by Kenneth Chen at http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/6/16/246

Unless I am missing something, it seems more correct to place the check inside
huge_pte_alloc() to prevent a the same bug wherever a huge pte is allocated.
It also allows checking for this condition when lazily faulting huge pages
later in the series.

With cleanups from Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>
SPARSEMEM_EXTREME makes mem_section a one dimensional array of pointers to
mem_sections. This two level layout scheme is able to achieve smaller
memory requirements for SPARSEMEM with the tradeoff of an additional shift
and load when fetching the memory section. The current SPARSEMEM
implementation is a one dimensional array of mem_sections which is the
default SPARSEMEM configuration. The patch attempts isolates the
implementation details of the physical layout of the sparsemem section
array.
SPARSEMEM_EXTREME requires bootmem to be functioning at the time of
memory_present() calls. This is not always feasible, so architectures
which do not need it may allocate everything statically by using
SPARSEMEM_STATIC.

I had some time to think about PCI assign issues in 2.6.13-rc series.
The major problem here is that we call pci_assign_unassigned_resources()
way too early - at subsys_initcall level. Therefore we give no chances
to ACPI and PnP routines (called at fs_initcall level) to reserve their
respective resources properly, as the comments in drivers/pnp/system.c
and drivers/acpi/motherboard.c suggest:
/**
* Reserve motherboard resources after PCI claim BARs,
* but before PCI assign resources for uninitialized PCI devices
*/
So I moved the pci_assign_unassigned_resources() call to
pcibios_assign_resources() (fs_initcall), which should hopefully fix a
lot of problems and make PCIBIOS_MIN_IO tweaks unnecessary.
Other changes:
- remove resource assignment code from pcibios_assign_resources(), since
it duplicates pci_assign_unassigned_resources() functionality and
actually does nothing in 2.6.13;
- modify ROM assignment code as per Ben's suggestion: try to use firmware
settings by default (if PCI_ASSIGN_ROMS is not set);
- set CARDBUS_IO_SIZE back to 4K as it's a wonderful stress test for
various setups.
Confirmed by Tero Roponen <teanropo@cc.jyu.fi> (who had problems with
the 4kB CardBus IO size previously).

It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).
The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.
The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.
Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.

i386 floating-point exception handling has a bug that can cause error
code 0 to be sent instead of the proper code during signal delivery.
This is caused by unconditionally checking the IS and c1 bits from the
FPU status word when they are not always relevant. The IS bit tells
whether an exception is a stack fault and is only relevant when the
exception is IE (invalid operation.) The C1 bit determines whether a
stack fault is overflow or underflow and is only relevant when IS and IE
are set.

This removes sys_set_zone_reclaim() for now. While i'm sure Martin is
trying to solve a real problem, we must not hard-code an incomplete and
insufficient approach into a syscall, because syscalls are pretty much
for eternity. I am quite strongly convinced that this syscall must not
hit v2.6.13 in its current form.
Firstly, the syscall lacks basic syscall design: e.g. it allows the
global setting of VM policy for unprivileged users. (!) [ Imagine an
Oracle installation and a SAP installation on the same NUMA box fighting
over the 'optimal' setting for this flag. What will they do? Will they
try to set the flag to their own preferred value every second or so? ]
Secondly, it was added based on a single datapoint from Martin:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111763597218177&w=2
where Martin characterizes the numbers the following way:
' Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so these numbers aren't
terribly useful except to see that with reclaim the benchmark still
finishes in a reasonable amount of time. '
in other words: the fundamental problem has likely not been solved, only
a tendential move into the right direction has been observed, and a
handful of numbers were picked out of a set of hugely variable results,
without showing the variability data. How much variance is there
run-to-run?
I'd really suggest to first walk the walk and see what's needed to get
stable & predictable kernel compilation numbers on that NUMA box, before
adding random syscalls to tune a particular aspect of the VM ... which
approach might not even matter once the whole picture has been analyzed
and understood!
The third, most important point is that the syscall exposes VM tuning
internals in a completely unstructured way. What sense does it make to
have a _GLOBAL_ per-node setting for 'should we go to another node for
reclaim'? If then it might make sense to do this per-app, via numalib or
so.
The change is minimalistic in that it doesnt remove the syscall and the
underlying infrastructure changes, only the user-visible changes. We
could perhaps add a CAP_SYS_ADMIN-only sysctl for this hack, a'ka
/proc/sys/vm/swappiness, but even that looks quite counterproductive
when the generic approach is that we are trying to reduce the number of
external factors in the VM balance picture.

and we are already disabling the local apics
so calling machine_shutdown simply reuses
code.
ia64 doesn't have a special path in power_off
for efi so there is no reason i386 should. If
we really need to call the efi power off path
the efi driver can set pm_power_off like everyone
else.

This appears to be a typo I introduced when cleaning
this code up earlier. Ooops.

set_cpus_allowed is not safe in interrupt context
and disabling apics is complicated code so don't
call machine_shutdown on i386 from emergency_restart().

machine_restart, machine_halt and machine_power_off are machine
specific hooks deep into the reboot logic, that modules
have no business messing with. Usually code should be calling
kernel_restart, kernel_halt, kernel_power_off, or
emergency_restart. So don't export machine_restart,
machine_halt, and machine_power_off so we can catch buggy users.
